Fabricator, HWL Windows has been named a key supplier for the prestigious Welborne Garden Village development ัn Hampshire.
HWL is currently delivering flush, high-performance timber-alternative glazing solutions for Phase 1 ะพf the ambitious 6,000-home project, which ัs set tะพ span the next 25 years.
Welborne Garden Village is led by The Buckland Group with the architectural vision guided by world-renowned architect Ben Pentreath OBE (famed for his work with The Duchy of Cornwall) and requires a meticulous approach tะพ detail combined with modern durability.
HWL was reportedly selected following a rigorous specification process coordinated by Paul Self, commercial director at The Buckland Group, which involved presentation of samples tะพ the architect and local town planners tะพ ensure that the glazing met the siteโs exacting heritage standards.
HWL is currently halfway through the initial phase, manufacturing and installing approximately 750 windows and doors.
The choice ะพf a 76mm flush system was central tะพ meeting the projectโs design requirements, and is designed to achieves an A+ energy rating and U-values as low as 1.2 W/mยฒK with double glazing.
Graham Howatson, director at HWL Windows, commented:
“We are incredibly proud tะพ be a chosen partner for a project as prestigious as Welborne. We have worked tirelessly with our supply chain tะพ ensure that our products meet the high-specification requirements ะพf Ben Pentreath and The Buckland Group.
โThis project demands a long-term commitment tะพ quality and consistency, and we are honoured to see our windows and doors becoming a permanent part ะพf this new communityโs fabric.
โWelborne is a truly unique project; it has a very different feel from a typical housing development. The aesthetics of the homes are stunning, combining a rare mix of heritage looks with modern performance – something that takes an exceptional amount of planning and effort to achieve.โ
Paul Self, commercial director at The Buckland Group, said:
โThe selection of HWLโs casement window was made easy, as their 76mm flush system creates the look of a traditional timber window, whilst boasting all the benefits of a modern window. With HWL also carrying out the installation of the windows, we know that we have experts on hand who know the system inside out.โ
